I hope not...I'm depending on Fenix supporting Skalarki hardware to avoid putting mine up for sale...the discussed Skalarki support for the FBW A320 seems to have gone very quiet.  I love my Skalarki MCDU and FCU but it's a lot of money to have tied up in something collecting dust on my shelf.

I feel the same way. In fact these days I’ve somehow lost interest in airbus and almost wish I’d gone with Boeing type equipment. It’s great stuff. But super expensive. You would think it could be usable with more planes by now 

I think I said it in the other thread but ProSim does have some glaring inconsistencies with the real deal, like fonts or some behind the scenes functionality, but it looks like Fenix is taking care of most of them.

Even if they didn't, it would be a remarkable plane with their custom model etc. I am totally thrilled about this announcement and honestly, Fenix could've led with this info. It's not bad news.

Yeah, I guess many Prosim customers would hope some that might find its way back into Prosim.

Cleaning up their EIS1/EIS2 and MCDU revision mixture would be just one necessary step on top of many.

What MATTERS is what they deliver, not how they get there. I am looking forward to this aircraft based on what has been shown so far. I am always (still) surprised by the amount of discussion on subject matter out of our purview.

I am a huge fan of PSX and if this bit of kit even starts to approach the comprehensive experience that PSX provides, I shall be content. Meanwhile, I shall enjoy the information shared by Fenix and @Aamir and wait in cautious optimism.

I am horrified to read that the Skalarki units are still unsupported… really?

Prosim is a company that makes software for the systems of the A320 and 737. It’s the systems and no visual model.They have commercial clients that use their software for their own company’s pilot training. Homecockpit builders also purchase. Fenix, has licensed the software code from them, and is adding a visual model + adding more features to the base ProSim for desktop users in MSFS. In a nutshell, Prosim is as top tier as it gets. 

Prosim also has a visual model and all panels can be put onscreen (2D).

Fenix is licensing some components from the Prosim generic cockpit software.

I only hope they got the legal stuff sorted out. I wonder why no one else came up with this idea yet.

Right!? It's such a brilliant idea and a time saver, as prosim actually uses the same ECAM software as the airbus, with the appropriate datasheets fed in. What this means is if the Fenix cabin pressure keeps giving an ECAM alert, Fenix devs just need to tune the pressure system until it stops giving ECAM messages because the fundamental systems are simulated. Almost like using prosim as a debugger.*

*So I've interpreted from the prosimar forums.

They would not be so far into the development and showing it off if they had not...

Not to take this too far off the original topic (although this could be forward looking to Fenix support) but this was posted on the Skalarki forum five days ago “We have FCU driver ready. It should be published later next week. MCDU will follow. For now hardware will be compatible only with FBW and ProSim.”

Fingers crossed!
